After saying some emotional goodbyes Tuesday, Clowe took the red-eye from San Jose to New York. Though bleary-eyed, he arrived Wednesday in time to take part in the Rangers' optional morning skate at the team's training facility in Greenburgh, N.Y.

Clowe, who was acquired Tuesday for three draft picks, expects to be on the ice at Madison Square Garden when the Rangers face the Pittsburgh Penguins (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN).

If Hannan appears in a Stanley Cup Playoff game for the Sharks, the pick becomes a sixth-rounder.

Hannan has one assist in 29 games this season. He has more than 900 regular-season games and 82 playoff contests on his resume.

Hannan was drafted by the Sharks in 1997 and spent parts of eight seasons with the franchise. He has played for four other teams in the past three seasons after being traded from Colorado to Washington during the 2010-11 season. Hannan went on to sign one-year contracts with Calgary and Nashville, respectively.

Scratch one big name off the list of potentially available goaltenders on the day of the 2013 NHL Trade Deadline.

Calgary Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff has decided he wants to stay with his team, TSN's Darren Dreger reported Tuesday morning. The 36-year-old has one year left on his contract beyond this season and carries a salary cap hit of $5.833 million.

The term Trade Deadline Day is outdated. From now on, this part of the regular season should be referred to as Trade Deadline Week. It's fairly obvious that general managers across the NHL don't want to wait until the last possible moment to pull off a deal, however big or small it is.

Deadline Day isn't even here yet but starting with the Jarome Iginla blockbuster last Thursday morning (or Wednesday night, depending on where you live), 25 players and 16 draft picks have been exchanged in 15 trades involving 21 teams.

Struggling to score with two proven NHL centers in the lineup, the Canucks acquired 5-foot-8 Roy from the Dallas Stars on Tuesday in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft and defense prospect Kevin Connauton.

Roy, who said he is finally healthy after an early-season groin injury, is ready to fill that gap on a Canucks team that has scored more than two goals four times in the past 16 games -- and one of those included two empty-net goals -- even if he wasn't yet sure where or how much he will play.

FRISCO, Texas -- A full-blown youth movement is officially under way with the Dallas Stars. The trading of veterans Jaromir Jagr and Derek Roy on Tuesday drove that point home emphatically.

The Stars (16-16-3, 35 points) sat 12th in the Western Conference heading into play Tuesday and were three points behind the St. Louis Blues for the final Stanley Cup Playoff spot in the Western Conference.

But with the contracts of Jagr and Roy expiring at season's end and Dallas already having traded former captain Brenden Morrow to the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 24 (who also had an expiring contract), Dallas general manager Joe Nieuwendyk was able to move three potential free agents before the NHL Trade Deadline, and in each case the Stars got prospects and draft picks in return.

"It's my responsibility to assess where I feel our team is at. We've been in this position before over the last three years in my tenure," said Nieuwendyk, GM since May 2009. "I felt this year that it was an opportunity for us to move some expiring contracts along to receive some good young assets and picks in a very deep draft. It's a unique season with only 12 games remaining after the trade deadline, so I really felt this was an opportunity to put our organization in a good position moving forward."

Paradis, 22, was playing with the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League. In 36 AHL games this season, he had one goal, seven assists and 100 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound wing was the Carolina Hurricanes’ first-round pick (No. 27) at the 2009 NHL Draft.

"We are extremely pleased to be able to acquire Ryane,” Rangers general manager Glen Sather said in a statement. "He is a unique combination of size, skill and toughness. His strong leadership and character make him a tremendous addition to our organization on and off the ice."

San Jose acquired New York's second-round selection in the 2013 NHL Draft, the Florida Panthers' third-round selection in 2013 (previously acquired by New York) and a conditional second-round selection in 2014.

"Ryane is a tremendously respected player and teammate, and an individual of outstanding character,” Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said on the team's website. “These deals involving players who have spent a substantial amount of time in and contributed much to San Jose are difficult, but it's also important for us to get value for a player who is set to be an unrestricted free agent."

Gaunce, 23, was playing for the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League, where he had 60 points (51 assists), 272 penalty minutes and a plus-22 rating in 197 games. He appeared in 11 games for the Avalanche in 2010-11. He will be assigned to Texas.

BOSTON – With the Boston Bruins ranked 12th in the NHL in goals per game entering action Tuesday night, and having scored two or fewer goals in six of its past seven games, general manager Peter Chiarelli did not halt his pursuit of offensive help after he was spurned by Jarome Iginla last week.

Chiarelli dealt a conditional 2013 NHL Draft pick and prospects Lane MacDermid and Corey Payne to the Dallas Stars to add the NHL's 10th all-time goal-scorer, Jaromir Jagr, to the team without removing a key piece of the regular lineup.

I don't have a crystal ball. Predicting is a real complicated thing. If we stay healthy, have enough depth and get the good goaltending we think we're going to have, you can go all the way. But a lot of things have to happen. There's going to be a lot of teams that think the same thing. Everyone made deals. We're all are optimistic about where we'll end up.
